Ye, Who Choose



Tujh ko manzoor nahin ghalba-e zulmat lekin
Tujh ko manzoor hai yeh haath qalam ho jaen
Aur mashriq ki kameenN-gah main dharakta hua din
Raat ki aahni mayyat ke talay dab jaey


Translation:

Throne of murk you grudge against; yet
Yield to severe these hands,
Surrender to the dawn breathing softly in the womb of East 
Be entombed under the metal carcass of dusk


Verse: Faiz
Inapt Translation: mine.
